Unless
robots awaken, they are doomed to their programmed fate. Where you
spend eternity depends on whose will you act upon. You either awaken to
God and live or remain the same (or even become worse) and die.
In the garden of Eden, God told man that he was free to eat from all
the trees in the garden(Gen 2:16)with one exception: The tree of
knowledge of Good and evil (Gen 2:17) The end result of eating this
tree according to God was a sure death.This death meant(and still means) spiritual death. God is our life (Deut 30:20) and being separated from Him means being in the state of eternal death and bondage .
To further corroborate this fact, let us read Gen 2:7: "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul". i.e.It was the Breath of Life from God that made man become a living soul.
The
word "became" (as used in the verse) shows the transformation of man
from an earthly man (man of dust) to a divine man bearing God's image.
Spiritual symbolism of the trees
The
trees in the garden are symbolic of different types of knowledge: The
tree of life and the other trees that were allowed by God symbolize the
knowledge of God which is given to man by God. Man inherits this
knowledge by allowing God to rule his life. When God the eternal spirit
rules your life, you have eternal life and are at peace with Him.
The tree of knowledge of good and evil is self explanatory. It makes
you know good and evil. I.e you become a law unto yourself. you solve
Your problems Yourself,make decisions yourself etc. I.e makes you
conscious of the self and not of God.
That is the reason why Adam and Eve became conscious of their nakedness immediately
they partook of it i.e. They died to God, they ceased to see the God
that covered them, they became self governing and this is the state of
death that God spoke about: Separation from God the eternal spirit and
association with the temporal breath that makes you know good and evil
(to further explain the fact that we are dead when we have a sinful
nature, read Eph 2:1)
The System of time is ruled by the devil
Since God is an eternal being, He cannot be the God of a system based
on time. Have you ever asked yourself these questions: Why am I not
eternal? Why do I have to die? If I'm supposed to bear God's image, why don't I live forever like he does? What happened to the breath that He
breathed into Adam my ancestor that made him conformed unto His eternal
image? How come Adam still died despite the fact that an eternal
breath was originally breathed into him?
The answer to all these questions is thus: When man partook of the tree
of knowledge of good and evil, he ceased to bear God's image: He
sacrificed the breath of the true God because he wanted to know good
and evil and took up the breath of the god of this world (satan) which
is temporary:
That he lost God's image is evident in the fact that the Bible states that when he ate of the tree, he knew he was naked, I.e he changed (was transformed into something else): He knew good and evil which he previously did not know i.e he bore the image of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, no more that of God.
And since he had been 'reinvented' by the forbidden tree, God decided he couldn't remain in Eden in an imperfect
state and so He sent him and his wife out of His Garden. That means
God separated himself from Adam and the only way Adam could ever be
reunited to God was (and still is) death:
Just as Adam died to
the life of God to live to sin, if his seed (who bear his nature) want
to bear God's image again, they have to die to the life of sin which they inherited from Adam in
order to live to God (The very reason why Jesus our new Adam had to
take on the image of sin even though he was'nt a sinner and die to it
in order to save us.)
World of Matter signifies separation from God
If God is a divine and eternal being, how come we his creation are in a
world of matter subject to corruption? How come most people spend all
their lives thinking of their bodies and lusts and forget about their
souls? The answer is simple:
We are in a fallen world, this world is not the home that God originally intended for us to inhabit. No wonder the Bible states in 1 John 2:15: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
We are trapped here and taken captive by Satan to do his will and unless we realize this,we would not be able to reconcile with God.
The Forbidden Knowledge.
All the education you get from the schools of the earth teach you about
self enhancement and self actualization.you might not realize this,
but from the minute you were born you have been conditioned to think in
a certain way.
Your
education starts with your parents they present a worldview to you
that you must not challenge. Afterwards, we attend school and if we
challenge what we are taught, we get bad grades,and because we want to
be successful, we refuse to challenge them,thus without us realizing it,
we are being manipulated into a programmed thinking pattern.
"Education
is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American public
school is a school of humanism. What can the theistic Sunday schools,
meeting for an hour once a week, teaching only a fraction of the
children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic
teaching?"C.F Potter,Co signer of The first Humanist Manifesto,1930.
The
fact today is that schools, universities and other educational
institutions are vast indoctrination centers which are churning out
people who are unquestioning as to the reality they have been presented
and are also highly suggestible as in regards to their acceptance of
the mainstream outlets of information.
This is a sad scenario indeed. Now you may not like to hear these
things but the evidence leads to this conclusion. Now in saying all
this I am not trying to devalue the education system as many important
and helpful things are learned in universities, technical colleges and
schools.
Most
of the things taught in the various educational institutions are
beneficial. The problem lies in the fact that much of the information
taught is biased towards a world view which is antichrist and with self
at the centre not God and also people are manipulated so as to never
question what they have been taught.
Also,
there is much information which simply is not taught. Ask Yourself why
do i go to school? Is it because I want to know God ? The answer to
that question is obviously No. It is because you are seeking a life line for yourself
You
want to be able to get a source of income. The main reason why people
get educated is because it's the most effective way to qualify them for
lucrative jobs.
Respect and Love of Money
In the world today, people are more interested in how much you earn than in how much of God you know and have experienced.
No
one wants to marry someone who knows God and doesn't have money. Why
do You think this is so? It is because society has been molded to think
that way of course.
Your education does not come from schools alone it also comes from TV.
Take for example, in the fifties you saw wholesome shows which depicted
a functional family where man and wife slept in separate beds and very
rarely talked about sex. Today the family is depicted as disfunctional
and everybody talks about sex.
Advertising seen on Television, read in Magazines and heard on the
Radio bestows thinking upon the masses that they must look and live a
certain way. If you do not conform you are considered to be a rebel and
are punished in more ways then one. On TV, the greatest perverts the
homosexuals, adulterers and ungodly people are portrayed as role models
to the society and we celebrate them.
Rebellion against God also taught in the 'church'
Even the so called church system indoctrinates us to accept abominations and reject Godly counsel. The so called
Prophets Pastors and Preachers tell their followers that they are free
to live life the way they want to live it: Jesus saved us so we could
enjoy our lives after all:
Anyone
who dares challenge them is usually sidelined, given a bad name and
alienated from the rest of the congregation and the fear of suffering
these things prevents many of the followers from questioning their
'teachers'.
Look at what God says such teachers do:(Jer 23:26: How
long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies?
yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart.They prophesy
deceit and lead his sheep astray).
If these prophets and teachers payed the price and told the truth,so many souls would have been saved(Jer 23:22:"But
if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my
words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from
the evil of their doings.")
But they would rather not
tell the truth because they love their loves, fear rejection and are
scared of being labelled by society.
Society demands Conformity
If you fail to act in a certain way or conform to a certain way of
thinking in this world You are labeled as a rebel.Society demands
conformity.No wonder J.F Kennedy said 'Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.
The Bible also says in Romans 12 :2 "And
be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and
perfect, will of God" Conformity, the desire to belong always leads to compromise.
Knowledge of God:
The knowledge that can set you free is the knowledge of the Son of
God, Jesus Christ, the knowledge that St Paul was ready to sacrifice all
he had to learn (Phil 3:7) is not taught in this evil world. It is
forbidden just the way the knowledge of sin was forbidden in God's
world.
Every other type knowledge is allowed because they are all interrelated and interwoven and have self at their center.
If you doubt this ask yourself how many schools teach you to deny
yourself and follow God? They all teach you to enhance yourself to
live in the world? Why do you think this is so? Because it was
designed that way by the devil and his agents of course.
Implication of partaking in the forbidden knowledge of this world,(The knowledge of The true God)
When Adam and Eve partook of the original forbidden knowledge in the
garden of Eden, (the tree of knowledge of good and evil) they died to
God and became self conscious(gen 3:6).
If we want to be free
from sin, we have to die to this sinful life. We have to deny ourselves
like Jesus instructed and take up our cross and follow him (Matt
16:24-25).
We have to mortify our flesh Rom 8:13 says: "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live'.John 12;24-25 also says:"Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground
and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. "
"He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal".
If we love our lives and the lusts it brings we will die. But if we
die to our sinful nature and accept Jesus we shall live. We can't
partake in a terrestrial and divine life at the same time, we cant
serve two masters we have to choose one.
God's Plan:
God's
plan for us His Church is to live in Eden not in Babylon (the fallen
matter world ruled by the devil).His intention is to set our minds on
things above and not on things of the earth(Col 3:2-3).
Jesus also says in Matt 6:19-20 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.
Stop concentrating on your earthly existence at the expense of your
soul. The soul that sins shall die the Bible states. The earthly
existence you keep trying so hard to protect is only temporal. Seek
eternal treasures. Seek the knowledge of God that can liberate your
soul from the shackles of sin and destruction.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.Hos 4:6
Where we eventually spend eternity will depend on our willingness to partake of this knowledge.
